NW OR for now
I have been shooting a bow for quite a few years and most of them have never fit me right so my accuracy was limited. This year i bought a bow that fits (Parker Blackhawk w/31in draw set at 65ish). I love the bow and i'm shooting pretty good.
I'd like to know if my arrow spine is correct. I am seeing a good bit of arrow movement in flight but they seem to hit their mark up to 30yds.
I'm shooting Easton Carbon Storms 340 60/75 at 30in 100gr field point and 100gr muzzys with 4in vanes. I want to buy new arrows for hunting What do you recommend? Make? Spine? Fletching?
Thanks in advance,
 
if you are shooting different colored fletcings, the arrow "movement" you are seeing is possibly an optical illusion. as the arrow spins, it looks like it is fishtailing. i went to all white fletchings and have never seen that again.
 
That is definitely a possibility. My arrows seem to be sticking in the target at the same angle. But i'm still thinking about going to a stiffer spine.
 
Go to eastons website and look at thier spine chart i believe with your draw weight and draw length a 340 spine is good but if you went to a 300 you will be fine, also you can always bump up to a 125 grain broadhead if you go to a 300, not sure if you would ever do that just showing you options
